Quality Best—Prices Lowest. 
1 . That the quality of the MASON & HAMLIN ORGANS 
is the VERY BEST, is not questioned by unprejudiced and 
well-informed persons. These organs have uniformly been 
awarded the highest premiums at Industrial Exhibitions, to 
the number of seventy-five, including the FIRST-CLASS 
MEDAL at the PARIS'EXPOSITION. They are recom¬ 
mended as the standard of excellence, the best, by several 
hundred of the most eminent musicians in America and 
Europe, whose testimony is printed, and will he sent to any 
one desiring it. 
2. It is the fixed policy of the MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN 
COMPANY to sell their organs always at the least remun¬ 
erative profit. They are now very much the largest manu¬ 
facturers of these instruments in the world. With increase 
of business they have been able to make corresponding in¬ 
crease and improvement in machinery and facilities for 
manufacture, by means of which they are now producing 
yet more perfect work than ever before, and this at increased 
economy in cost. Accordingly they arc now selling the 
best organs they have ever made at prices which are as low, 
or even less than would he the cost of manufacture Of in¬ 
ferior instruments without the advantage of such facilities. 
Four-Octave Organs, $50 each. Five-Octave Organs, 
with Kn-ee Swell, $100. Five-Octave Douisle-Reei> Or¬ 
gans, with Five Stops, Tremulant and Knee Swell, 
$125. The same, Six Stops, with addition of one octave of 
Sub-Bass, connected with the Manuals, $150. The same, 
Seven Stops, with Sub-Bass and Octave Coupler (each 
key commands four separate reeds, giving this style nearly 
twice the power of a double reed organ, with much greater 
variety), $175. Five-Octave Double-Reed Cabinet Or¬ 
gan, with Five Stops, Automatic Swell and Improved 
Vox Humana, the finest instrument of its size which can be 
made, $170. Many other styles at proportionate prices, up 
to $1,000 each.
